Combined Bundle 1 - Powerboat Essentials
The ability to be confident and qualified is often overlooked. This is a huge mistake not only for your safety, how can you call for help when you need it! But also for the more fun things you will want to do like booking a visitor berth in a marina or talking to your flotilla mates to organise arrivals and social events. Here at Corfu Powerboating we have combined these two courses which can be booked at a discount. The VHF course can be taken in our classroom, usually follwingon from the practical course or using the online simulation at a time to suit you
Peter and Julie
We have loved both powerboating and sailing for over 25 years together. After working as a Professional Skipper and RYA Instructor in the Solent on the south coast of England and in Customer Service we decided to relocate to Corfu and develop a school together - one we would want to come to.
We have been students ourselves and believe that we have a real responsibility towards you, our Client. We will always deliver training and services to suit you so you get the best experience, have fun and hopefully give you skills that will be with you for the rest of your boating adventures.
In safe hands
I started my career as a Marine Engineer in the Royal Navy and was lucky enough to help maintain and drive a large number of different work boats and RIBs for 15 years in some wonderful parts of world from Norway to Antarctica. Following the Royal Navy, I moved into a commercial career in I.T. Technology always maintaining my connection with the sea through powerboating and sailing whilst working for software providers in the UK and Europe, training and guiding large teams. I left the commercial world in 2015 to have more fun and follow my dream of being back in the marine industry and take the chance to work with my wife Julie who is also from a customer service background. As well as being a Professional Skipper for power and sail boats, I am able to teach in many different types of powerboats such as RIB's and Motor Yachts up to 24 meters plus a range of shore based navigation and theory courses.
Our school allows us to combine our love of all things boating plus gives us the added benefit of meeting some wonderful people.
